SUCKINGr-BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 7, 1911.

Patented Apr. 23, 1912.

Serial No. 642,834.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES DE Boon, residing at Lele, Belgium, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Sucking-Bottles; and Ido hereby declare the following to be afull clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedtherein, which form a part of this specification.

The present invention relates to a sucking bottle for feeding children,wherein milk and teat itself are sterilized. bottle may be so arrangedthat neither the milk nor the teat comes into contact with each othernor with the outer air, nor with any other not sterilized article beforethe bottle is used. Said result is attained substantially by combiningwith the object of patent filed on 7 March 1911 a system of teat whichis the particular object of the present specification.

The appended drawings show by way of example said teat applied to asucking bottle provided with the system of communicating bolt of thereceptacle and the milk pipe particularly described in the specificationfiled on 7 March 1911.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the sucking bottle at themoment it is sterilized. Fig. 2 shows the bottle after its sterilizationduring its being stored. Fig. 3 shows the bottle when used.

In the cap 1 of the sucking bottle is placed the part 2 described in thespecification filed on 7 March 1911 and allowing to establishcommunication between the inner of the bottle placed in an autoclave 3and a piping 15 where milk is maintained under pressure.

The teat 4 which is the object of the present patent is arranged inascrew threaded socket 5 screwed into a cap 1. Said teat may be ofrubber or any other like material. The lower bead 6 of the teat 4 ispressed between an inner rim 7 of said Said sucking socket 5 and anannular part 8 screwed into said socket. Said part 8 is provided at itslower end with a conical part 9 with openings 10 in the sides. Thesocket 5 is screwed into a circular groove 11 in the cap 1 suitablythreaded.

At its upper part the socket 5 is provided with a ledge on which abell12 is screwed. /Vhen the socket 5 is screwed into position the conicalpart 9 of the part 8 engages into a conical opening 13 of the cap 1 andpre vents any connection between the sucking bottle and the recess forthe teat. To fill said bottle, it is placed into an autoclave 3 afterthe bell 12 and the socket 5 have been screwed into place (Fig. 1). Bylowering in the manner known (described in the patent filed 7 March1911) the bolt 14 connection is provided between the inner of the bottleand the piping 15. Then the autoclave is closed and the bottle filledand sterilized in any known manner. The sucking bottle so filled withsterilized milk is stored until it must be used. Then the sheath 12 isunscrewed, which covered the teat 4: and held it in a sterilizedatmosphere, then the socket 5 is unscrewed. The parts are then in theposition shown Fig. 3. In said position the milk may by the suction ofthe child, get into the teat 4 through holes 10 in the conical part 9.

It is to be noted that when a teat 4 is made in a material not alteredby milk or when said material by its contact does not alter said milkwhile being sterilized or afterward (Fig. 1) the socket 5 could beunscrewed so as to provide, as shown Fig. 3, a connection between theinner of the receptacle and the inner of the teat and the sheath 12. Itis desirable to make easy the filling to provide the sucking bottle withav valve.
